help w. METAGGI(SAS) and Epiphanius (mildly off topic) help w. METAGGI(SAS) and Epiphanius (mildly off topic) In Mk 3:29 the author of Mark has Jesus proclaiming that anyone whoblasphemes against the Holy Spirit OUK EXEI AFESIN EIS TON AIWNA, ALLAENOXOS ESTIN AIWNIOU hAMARTHMATOS.I am curious to know if the expression ENOXOS ESTIN is (a) idiomatic and(b) drawn from the law court and/or bears any particular legalsignificance.Is it a common phrase? Does it have Classical, secular Hellenistic,and/or LXX precedent. If so, in what contexts?I’d look up the expression myself — but I’m too pressed for time rightnow.Yours,Jeffrey.–Jeffrey B.

What a novel idea! <g> Now why didn’t I think of that??Seriously — it must be the onset of senility — but I really **didn’t** think of that, and in the back of my mind, preventing me from doing so, MUST have the idea that I wouldn’t get sufficient examples of the phrase from LSJ to answer my question. And all of this after I myself just advised an XTalk member, who wanted to know what a definition of a word was, to look at LSJ!!!Apologies for making the List responsible for doing my homework.Yours,Jeffrey–Jeffrey B.

Reader-response criticism What is the opposite of a deponent? To: Jeffrey B. Gibson,Just in case you don’t have EDNT at hand, you might find the following interesting.<< With its etymological derivation from ENECOMAI, ENOCOS has the basic meaning ‘held in’ something, in the fig. sense ‘subjected, exposed, subject to.’ The adj. is used with gen. and dat. substantives, gen. for what which the subj. is guilty of (Mark 3:29), the object against which the subj. has erred (Jas 2:10; 1 Cor 11:27), or the appropriate punishment (Mark 14:64 par. Matt 26:66), dat. for the appropriate court of judgment (Matt 5:22) >> (1:457).(Note that here, I’m using C for Chi.)-Steven Craig MillerAlton, Illinois (USA)scmiller at www.plantnet.comDisclaimer: “I’m just a simple house-husband (with no post-grad degree), what do I know?”
